Chapter 461 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• Roy leaned into Tanisha, whispering, “If he knew how to play cards, I wouldn’t dare challenge him. I’m just taking advantage of his lack of knowledge” Tanisha asked, “What are you up to?” Roy responded, “Nelly’s dad passed away early, and both me and Allen can be considered her half–fathers. Now that her husband is here, shouldn’t we check him oul for her dad’s sake?” Tanisha said. “Sure, just don’t go overboard. I think Mr. Artis is quite nice. He treats Nelly well, and he’s left a good impression on me, both with his looks and his actions.” Roy gave her a sideways glance, “Women are so superficial. You see a good looking guy and instantly think he’s an all round good guy” Tanisha shot back, “And who’s really the superficial one here, men or women? You’re not exactly spring chicken, yet you’re constantly tipping those pretty game streamers” Roy defended himself, “That girl is the best gamer I’ve seen, and it’s not like I’m throwing tons of money at her…”
• Tanisha challenged, “Don’t try to tell me you watch her streams just because she’s good at games?” Roy insisted, “Yes, I do” Tanisha rolled her eyes, clearly not buying it. Zack said, “Dad, let’s talk about what the losers‘ punishment will be.” Roy pulled out his liquor and several beer glasses, “The loser drinks. Lose a round, drink a glass.” Marcus‘ stomach definitely wouldn’t be able to handle it. Cornelia quickly intervened. “Jeremy has a weak stomach, he can’t drink.” Marcus said, “It’s fine.” Cornelia said, “Have you forgotten about the time you had a stomach bleed because of alcohol?” Marcus whispered into her ear, “Don’t worry, they won’t be able to beat me.” “How can you be so confident you’ll beat them when you don’t even know how to play cards?” Cornelia knew Marcus was a quick learner, but there was no way he could master cards instantaneously, let alone beat these seasoned players. After all, playing cards was more about luck. “Mr. Antis had a stomach bleed because of alcohol? Then he can’t drink… Let’s change the punishment.” Roy didn’t insist, although he sounded a bit reluctant Marcus said, “No need, the loser drinks.”
• Everyone turned to look at Cornelia, seeking her approval. Comelia said, “Please don’t push him too hard.” Roy said, “Don’t worry, we won’t” Allen said, “I have one small request, no coaching from the sidelines.” They were clearly taking advantage of Marcus unfamiliarity with cards. Marcus didn’t say much, just gave a small smile, “Let’s get started” Abigail muttered, “So sneaky!” Allen said, “Wait till your boyfriend comes, you’ll see how I deal with him.” Abigail immediately shut her mouth, best not to rile up this crafty man under these circumstances. Then, the game officially began. First, it was Roy’s turn, then Allen, and finally Marcus. In the first round, everyone made it through safely. Then came the second round, the third… Every time they put down a card, Marcus would pick one up. Before long, Marcus laid down his cards, “Did I win?” Both men leaned in simultaneously, picking up Marcus‘ cards to check. Even though they were hoping Marcus wouldn’t win, they had to admit, he did Conscientiously, they each poured a glass of wine and drank it down. This kind of booze could quickly get one tipsy, and Roy’s face started to turn red.
